Happy Monday!
This weeks post is the first of a series of guest contributors to the blog. Our first contributor is the awesome Manek D'Silva. Apart from being an artist and graphic designer, he is musician who writes and plays the guitar for the band Slain. Hope you enjoy his selections for this week.
Poom : Les Voiles
Poom seems to have more in common with Daft Punk than just being from Paris: an infectious dance groove running from start to finish, a thick layer of nursery-rhymey unison voices, 'Les Voiles' somehow manages to be both smooth and rude in equal measure. The words being sung in French, rather than English, makes them simultaneously more comforting, and more haunting. I don't get most of the lyrics, but the line 'ce soir on va danser' means 'we're going dancing this evening', and that's all the French you really need.

Celeste : Ezra Vines
Don't let the minimal start fool you, from clapping to nylon strings, to angelic choruses, to deep warm piano tones, Ezra Vine's 'Celeste' pours increasingly lush beautiful sounds into your happily welcoming soul. It's the sort of musical honesty that reminds you of Florence + the Machine. The video reflects the music's finest qualities: very simple, very organic, very pretty, and very stuck in your head for the rest of your life.
We will be featuring guest contributors every month.
